What should a photography assistant pay attention to? Thank you, everyone.

Why do you want to be a photography assistant? I dare say that everyone who has worked in this profession will have their own answers. But no matter what the answers are, there are only two purposes in our hearts: one is personal survival needs, because you must have a proper career to support yourself. Second, be a photographer. At least this is the goal that most people who have worked as assistants are eager for! But to be a real photographer, there is still a long way to go. If a person does not have the spirit of hard work, humiliation and eagerness to learn, then he will first lose the basic premise of becoming a professional photographer. It must be very hard to engage in this profession, and no one else will regard the profession of "photographer" as an imaginary comfort and relaxation (of course, the off-season is not counted). Many extremely heavy and trivial tasks, from helping guests pull the exterior skirt to hitting the reflector and putting the background light indoors, need assistants to complete. I worked as a photo assistant and counted the number of times I bent down a day, as many as 50 times! It's hard just to travel on location every day! In summer, I have to endure the high temperature exposure and work indoors and outdoors with heavy outdoor lighting and outdoor equipment. Needless to say, sweep the floor every morning and evening. Photographic assistants have to endure grievances, because many photographers have a bad temper at work. It is perfectly normal to say that people call names. Whether you walk fast or slow, right or wrong, is when the photographer makes fun of you. Photographers who like to play big names used to be mostly from Taiwan Province Province. These people are grumpy, like raging wind and fire at one moment, and silent, elusive and extremely difficult to grasp at the other. Their strictness and harshness towards assistants can be said to be chinese odyssey! But things are better now than before. After all, the society is progressing and developing, people's cultural and moral level is improving day by day, and their words and deeds are becoming more and more civilized and standardized. Therefore, many assistants who have just entered the business are so wronged when they first entered the business. Many people really left with a slap in the face! There is also the most painful thing, that is, you have to endure the torture and suffering of low wages and low treatment (there is no treatment at all in many places). When will this bitter life end? In fact, I have no bottom in my heart. In many places, the so-called photography assistant is simply synonymous with the local minimum wage income. From a monthly salary of 300 a few years ago to 500-800 now. In short, it is based on the economic development of various regions. Of course, photography assistants earn thousands of dollars, but there are not many such studios, most of which are profitable, and photography assistants also get a certain commission. Speaking of this commission, it was unimaginable in the income of most photography assistants in the studio a few years ago. In recent years, these conditions have improved, and many photo studios have formulated the income distribution system of basic salary plus commission for photography assistants, which has improved the salary and benefits of photography assistants to a certain extent, in order to better stabilize morale and increase team cohesion. If a photography assistant can survive the above three situations for a long time (1 year or more), even if you still have a little knowledge of photography and even have no chance to touch the camera, I dare say that he is already half a photographer! At least he has a passion and pursuit for this profession that is different from ordinary people. Unfortunately, many photography assistants will give up if they can't do these three things, because this is a primary tempering stage like purgatory. Without these basic qualities, it can be said that it is impossible to become a real photographer. Follow-up: I have learned it. Remember what you said next time we meet. I think I want to do it anyway. I think I should be ready.
